<p>[QUOTE="NSP, post: 3131267, member: 74849"]Last year I posted about tentatively completing my <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/large-capped-bust-quarters.303324/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/large-capped-bust-quarters.303324/">1815-1828 bust quarter set</a>. While I doubt I'll ever be able to completely stop buying them, I decided to try to assemble a well circulated capped bust dime set with the goal of putting them into the corresponding Dansco album (#6121). For the time being I don't want to afford the 1809, 1811/09, or 1822, and if I did ever buy them I would want them to be certified. Fortunately the 1809 and 1811/09 are on the first page of the album (with all of the expensive draped bust dimes), so I can easily ignore them or remove the first page entirely. I may get an 1822 Spanish or Mexican 1 real to fill the hole for the 1822.
